One detail that Simon omitted: do not copy public keys into Word files. It must be transmitted as-is, without any of the data mangling that Word does behind-the-scenes. Alternately (and IMO, preferably), use the keyserver network. gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --send-key 12345678 Then, a few hours later, the correspondent can use recv-key to get the key: gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 12345678
